Our Verdict

Redmine provides a flexible, open-source project management solution with support for various project tracking and issue management features. It includes tools for task management, Gantt charts, and time tracking, making it suitable for teams that need a customizable project management system. Its open-source nature allows for extensive customization and integration with other tools.

On the downside, Redmine's open-source framework may require additional setup and configuration, which can be time-consuming. While it offers a broad range of features, it might not be as user-friendly or polished as some commercial project management solutions, potentially requiring more technical expertise to fully leverage its capabilities.

Overview

Why we like it

This free, open-source, cloud-based project management solution is based on the Ruby on Rails framework. As such, Redmine offers a cross-platform and cross-database interface for managing numerous projects all in one space. Managers can allocate users for different roles with set definitions, including priorities for projects or tasks. While free, there is a Panio-hosted version with a starting price of $25.
We found that the document management system is particularly useful, allowing users to share and collaborate with each other quickly and efficiently via messages. Time tracking functionalities are available, as well as the ability to use databases such as PostgreSQl, SQlite, and MySQL. Businesses looking for a budget-friendly, yet flexible solution should check out Redmine.
